    Jail: A Stiff Sentence
    Madhur Bhandarkar has made a name for himself as a realist filmmaker (this and that he has won 3 national awards always precede a piece on him). His films like Page 3 and Fashion broke the art film-commercial film barrier for him. Bhandarkar has comfortably placed himself as a ‘mainstream-realist’ filmmaker. After documenting the lives of bar-girls, corporates, the...

    No way to treat a lady..or women in the movies
    *Hear out the honcho. The movie production house COO (not even the CEO), says airily,“Please not another woman-oriented film.” The implication is that women are the second-rung gender out here. *A TV interviewer, a woman, asks tetchily, “But why always women?” To that you ask, in sheer despair, “Why not?” * A well-meaning producer...

    THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY AND THE SHAMEFUL OF 2008
    A very late list but nonetheless here is what I think of the films released in 2008. The GOOD ONES: No. 1. No film qualifies. 2. No film qualifies. 3. Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye!: With a daisy fresh treatment of urban working class people and city wannabes, Dibakar Banerjee’s Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye! tops my year’s list. The film packed with Delhi eccentricities and...

    Fasionably Predictable: How ’stocks’ are killing Madhur Bhandarkar’s Cinema
    iView Author: Sayandeb Chowdhury (Delhi, India) Email: withheld A review of Fashion and the larger aspects of MB’s cinema Bombarded with an endless rain of stupid kitsch every week, we have gradually come to expect very little of the Hindi film industry.

    Bollywood 2008 My 10
    It’s kind of a ritual for critics in the West to pick their favourite 10 films of the year gone by and even here in Bollywood newspapers and news channels are pouncing on the habit.

    Why I dislike Bhandarkar’s cinema and thoughts on FASHION
    People will always complain. It’s in their genes, branded in their sensibilities. And when it comes to films not only does everyone have an opinion about things but as it seems, everyone has a unique complain regarding it. There is no escape from this, no matter what genre of film you make, be it a ‘social satire’, a ‘thriller’, ‘rock...

    Fashion
    Welcome to a peek into the world of fashion. We saw glimpses of characters from this world in Page 3. Madhur Bhandarkar now takes us further into this world,  and to communicate to us that he’s researched extensively on this subject,  he’s there in a scene where during a fashion show an onlooker points to him and says ‘ That’s Madhur Bhandarkar,...
